Description

Help build the most comprehensive registry of AEDs for use during emergencies.

When a cardiac emergency strikes, finding an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can help save a life. But that takes knowing where AEDs are located. PulsePoint AED lets you report and update AED locations so that emergency responders – nearby citizens trained in CPR or local firefighters, police or medics -- can find an AED close to them when a cardiac emergency occurs.

You and PulsePoint AED can help strengthen the chain of survival for cardiac arrest victims. Download PulsePoint AED for free and use it to report AED locations wherever you see one. Snap a picture, make some quick notes, and the information is stored for local authorities to verify. After that, the AED location data is made available to anyone using the PulsePoint citizen responder app (also available for free in the Google Play store). PulsePoint Respond is the app that alerts citizen responders who know CPR to local emergencies near them and also to the location of the nearest AED.

Not only do all validated AED’s become visible in the PulsePoint Respond app, all collected AED information is provided to the local emergency communications center for instant display on dispatcher consoles during calls for assistance. This allows the dispatchers to direct callers to nearby public AEDs when necessary.

PulsePoint AED is a great way to crowd-source lifesaving information. Users of PulsePoint Respond and subscribing local emergency responders all get updated information about the AEDs in their communities. With PulsePoint AED and PulsePoint Respond, citizens, responders, and care providers can work together in their communities to help victims in a cardiac emergency.

PulsePoint AED and PulsePoint Respond are produced by the PulsePoint Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to empowering everyday citizens to provide lifesaving assistance to victims of Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

Engineering for the applications is provided by skilled volunteers from Workday, Inc. and are marketed and implemented by Physio-Control, Inc. makers of Lifesaving Tools for Lifesaving Teams since 1955.

Love the concept, app needs a bit of work I absolutely love the idea of both this app and the Pulsepoint Respond app. However, I've had recurring issues of the app crashing, particularly when I'm trying to add photos to an AED entry. Additionally, I know you can mark an AED as "missing," but there's an AED entry in a blatantly wrong position...is there any way to get it removed so that there is no confusion during an actual emergency? Thanks for helping to make AEDs more accessible!!

Nearly perfect.. - Has integration and a share feature with Twitter so you can bring multiple identities to application use (store investigations, risk protection). - A user would have to be proficient at design, creative writing, security, establishing trusted relationships with police, Intelligence and Laughing Like Crazy (MDAO) to create the ultimate Red Cross (or whatevr the vendor of defibs) sales tool. - Add CrossFit to the mix with multi-city transportation by city buses and memberships to 24 hour gyms and you have the recipe to become the next @Schwarzenegger. - Sleep at area homeless shelters to improve availability of device in your local city, or hotels (defibs on every floor) to blow this game out of the water.

Good app. Short on reported locations The app starts quickly, and shows the reported locations on a map quickly. It does require people to add AED locations. I have added 2 so far, and intend to add as many as I find.

Great idea! Nice implementation. I take it that 'private' Accessibility means it is behind a door that one must ask to enter and then ask to use the AED. Not sure what 'Type' selection means. the choices are Crowd and Production.

Julie- This is a crowd sourcing app. The AED app is for volunteers (like you) to identify and add AEDs to our repository. These added AEDs will then appear in our Respond app to direct CPR responders to the nearest AED. We would love if you collect some of those casino and school AEDs!

The AED app is not used to direct you to an AED, but for volunteers (like you) to identify and add AEDs to our repository. These added AEDs will then appear in our Respond app to direct CPR responders to the nearest AED.

Saw this app on Good Day L.A. and this should be a lifesaver literally! Hope it's put to use to its full potential.

Forces you to give g+ or fb password Does not have an option to create your own username and password. Will not let you use the application unless you sign in with Facebook or Google+ password. Feedback link does not work , perhaps without password being entered.

Great idea, except There doesn't seem to be a way of uploading a stored pic, so adding an image always has to happen right at that location (which doesn't always have a good signal). Also, it wouldn't acknowledge my login through Google+ after a while. Currently attempting a re-install.
